What i can truly say of Kempfs playing Schubert, and particularly this A major Sonata is he makes Schubert's ideas come to live by paying attention to detail. Like bringing some rare orchid to bloom.
This sonata was written as a tribute to happy summer vacation. No shadow trouble it. Wilhelm Kempsff plays is superbly, of course. I would nevertheless have liked the first movement a bit slower.
I love Schubert but he's a bit of an enigmatic composer. It's as if he has one idea--a theme in a minor key--but he can't stand it, can't leave it alone to develop itself. It's as if he takes up to the dizzying pinnacle and then recants, shifting it over to a major key and then back again, so yes: it is "cute," but it's seems to embody a kind of craziness. He's a great crazy composer!
Schubert had the courage to explore new ideas. He loved Beethoven's music, but went beyond in the sense of exploring frequent key changes: a bit heretical in his day, more common now. i counted 6 in one page! Throughout his music, Schubert invented magnificent melodies!! Sadly, he lived but 31 years. One wonders what he might have created.
@@Marco1281 agree, clear like sweat water drops falling from a tree-brach on a lake... and architectural by magnanimously amplifying the sound in dynamic volumes 🎵🎶
I'm surprised how much more I like Kempff's Schubert than I like his Beethoven. In Beethoven, he always seems a bit too subdued for me, but I don't think I feel that, as here, in the little A-major.
The sound that Kempff produces is crystal clear, yet warm. Perfect for Schubert and Beethoven.

What a touch! A sublime performance.
I always have a sense of comfort and happiness hearing Kempff's Schubert. A sense that all is well in the world.
TiticatFollies I agree. There is something a bit childish (in a good way) and innocent in his playing
TiticatFollies hi
Zeyad Yang: Hi!
TiticatFollies do you play piano too?
I used to, when I was your age. I don't have a piano now. If I did, I would play a lot!
This is the best performance of this sonata by far in my opinion.
softly and lightly cryout his play.
amazing .
Schubert is alive with his fingers and mind .
My pleasure!
I upload them all complete (performed by W.Kempff) so as everyone can find and watch them more easily.
For that memory work, be very deeply thanked
Merci pour cette poésie bienfaisante de Schubert et Kempff,douceur et lumière de son toucher
DAS findet den Weg zum Herzen!
Interprétation la plus inspirée. Merci Maître.
sweet,warm.and fantastic!!
Thank you, for Schuberts thoughts, and soul through these notes in capable loving hands!
I love Schubert and Kempff's interpretation. Thanks for posting!

there are clouds in the Andante for sure
This sonata is so damned CUTE! I absolutely love it.
no it's beautiful and majestic.
And SUCH an art to letting it really sing and flow (seemingly)effortlessly along like a string of pearls!
"Cute"??? Good grief.
Wow make me feel relax
Thank you oploading the whole sonata in one video! Makes it much more practical to listen to :)
Quando voglio sentire come va interpretato un brano, cerco Kempff.
Thanks again for posting these...Thank You!!...
Thank you. Love listening to this while studying :)
The piano is pleased by his hands.
scramble scales (delevopement) 17:14
Beautiful piano playing :)
Doris Day Liked it so much she had a hit song with "Secret Love" A hit Fain & Webster song from the early 1950's Movie Music Era
Just the opening was used but that's all that was needed.
mesmerizing

Perry Weiner, I saw that comment on an Lp sleeve or something. Remind me who made that quote. I would give that sentiment of Tchaikovsky.

Perry Weiner ......enigmatic is the right expression, to my mind.....his worlds are strangely contradicting.
You're welcome!
Exquisite. Thank you.
Kempff's and Richter's Schuberts are two different worlds : ) I like them both but I think I prefer the former...
Like you i like both. Maybe Kempff is more architectural ?
But he can stay poetic at the same time. And his touch is clear, very well articulated

この曲好きなんです
Che dolcezza
Divno!
５０年前にこのソナタが好きで練習していた事を思い出しました〜そして、１楽章と３楽章を試験で演奏した事を.....移住地フイリピンで老化防止に毎日2時間ピアノを弾いている日本人の老女ですが（笑）
2 hours a day. So beautiful time.
Thank you for that. Tell me, if you want, how you feel the difference between this interpretation and the Richter's one in 1963.
Richter's version is beautiful but melancholic; Kempf's version luminous and joyous.

KEMPEFFEP haci mucho tiempo ,no sabia de ti
hello do you know when was this recorded?
1967. So he was 77, if i am not mistaken ? He was born in 1890, right ?
I was wrong. He was born in 1895. So he was 72 "only"
@@Marco1281 thank you
underinflection clearly works too
neville
? Marriner?
巨匠の貫禄ですね！言うことなしです。
Kempff is the first pianist I knew when I was in China 1974, the best in playing Beethoven and Schubert compared to others
Patrick Feng, I love Kempff’s Bach Das Wohltemperiete Klavier too.
